Holori
Holori diagramming tool helps DevOps and Cloud Architects design their cloud architecture, estimate its cost and turn their dreamed architecture into a live infrastructure.
It is currently compatible with AWS, Azure, GCP, Alibaba, OVH and Scaleway.
Unlike Draw.io, Lucidchart or Visio, Holori is way more than just a drawing tool. The software also provides a cost estimation of the designed architecture as well as recommendations to reduce the infrastructure cost. Moreover, the tool compares the cost of an equivalent architecture on other cloud providers which could lead to a reduction in future cloud costs of up to 70%.
Once the user has validated the cloud infrastructure and the provider, Holori can directly provision the designed infrastructure. An alternative is to export the terraform script of the infrastructure and deploy it yourself.
Last but not least, Holori is able to import an existing infrastructure directly from the cloud providers’ console with read-only permissions. This way, users can visualize their infra and identify potential anomalies or unused resources.
Pricing:
Holori comes with a free forever plan with some quotas restrictions. The next plan is at 49$/month/user.
